    I am the not so proud owner of a Y reg partner van with the 2.0 HDI
    engine. In Dec 06 the van began cutting out and giving me problems.
    Had the AA and an autoelectrican out to it, but neither could find the
    cause.

    It was taken to a garage with dianostic equipment, and they found a
    fault on the wiring loom on the engine. Aparently it had broken and
    shorted the diesel heater and high pressure pump wires, blowing the
    fuses.

    The wiring was repaired, but now they could get no response from the
    ECU on a diagnostics test.

    The van is now at a peugeot garage, where it has been for nearly a
    month. They have sent the ECU away to be tested. It was found to be
    faulty, allegedly repaired and sent back. But the same problem is
    still there.

    I have been told the ECU, dash and something behind the fusebox had
    been swapped with another hdi engine and the van started and ran ok.
    But with my ECU and dash back in. it wont run!

    They seem convinced it is an ECU fault still, but are not making any
    progress. I hate to think what the bill is going to be. I had a verbal
    quote of £363, but would imagine there may be a 0 added to the end of
    that!

    Anybody any ideas???? other than digging a big hole for it! :(

    Sounds typical. What they've fed you is probably about 99% guff. It's
    highly likely the vehicle has probably hardly been touched.
    Just get it back and resolve it yourself, the vehicle is too old to
    spend so much on. It could be a very simple fault but many garages
    will always claim the worst because they can't resolve it or can't be
    bothered to.
    Oh, and when you get it back check the seals on the ECU to see if it's
    actually been opened at all. Of course they could always say that it
    just needed reprogramming externally but that is something they should
    have been able to do themselves.

    Alternatively, you could always sell the vehicle on ebay as is and
    probably get a decent price for it.

    Have spoken to the Peugoet garage, and things are not looking good. To
    date, i owe them £897 for time spent. But it still isnt running. They
    say they suspect the BSI unit in the dash for blowing the ecu as the
    ecu has been for repair twice with the same fault both times. How come
    their test equipment cant test this?

    Anybody know if the BSI can cause damage to the ecu? Peugeot say if i
    can find second hand BSI and ECU they will fit them as they need to be
    recoded.

    Is this twaddle? Can you just swap the two. Can any garage with test
    equipment change them? Or do you have to pay the £55/hr rate of
    peugeot
